Panthers injury updates: Greg Olsen's foot, Cam Newton's thumb

The Panthers got away from New Jersey with a win, but they weren’t totally unscathed.

After catching only one pass, tight end Greg Olsen left the game early. At the time it was reported he was sidelined due to foot soreness. According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, Olsen went see foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte today to be evaluated. Coach Rivera did not provide any details today other than confirming he was seeing a doctor.

However, thanks to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, we now know Olsen’s foot is just fine, as the team expected.

After tests today, #Panthers TE Greg Olsen’s foot was deemed OK, I’m told. The good news the team was expecting.
